Almost every modern pedal set suits a SIMGASM Sport, from a two pedal load cell set to a full hydraulic set with a clutch. The pedal deck is rated for a braking load of 300 kg, and its slots let you move it forward, backward and up in angle. So the best pedals for your Sport depend on your budget, your games and how hard you like to brake, not on the rig.
In 2026 the main choice is between load cell, hydraulic and active pedals. Below we explain each type and which sets SIMGASM sells for a build like this.
What does the Sport pedal deck handle?
Start with the numbers, because they decide how hard you brake.
A 300 kg rated braking load
The Sport carries a rated braking load of 300 kg at the pedal deck. Many drivers set their load cell brake somewhere between 50 and 100 kg of force. That leaves a large margin, so the deck does not bend away from your foot when you stamp on the brake into a hairpin.
Adjustable position
The slots in the pedal deck let you move the pedals forward and back and tilt them to a new angle. That matters when you switch between a GT position and a lower formula position, or share the rig with a taller driver. The Sport also comes with a heel rest in the box.

Which pedal type suits the Sport best?
Each pedal type has its own feel, and the Sport handles all three.
Load cell pedals
A load cell brake measures force, just like the brake in a real car. You learn to brake by pressure instead of travel, which makes your braking far more consistent. SIMGASM sells load cell sets such as the MOZA Racing SRP2 Loadcell Pedals, the Moza Racing CRP2 Load Cell Pedals, the Simagic P700 Pedal Set and the Asetek SimSports Forte Sim Racing Pedals. For tips on force and travel, read our load cell pedal setup guide.
Hydraulic pedals
Hydraulic sets use a real master cylinder for a smooth and progressive brake. The Conspit CPP EVO 3 V2 Hydraulic Pedal Set is one example in the range. A hydraulic set rewards a stiff deck, and that is exactly what the 40 × 120 mm Sport frame gives you.
Active pedals
Active pedals use a motor to change the feel and add effects such as ABS pulses. The Moza Racing mBooster Active Pedal is an example. An active pedal still needs a solid deck, because the motor pushes back against your foot.

Which pedals fit your budget and games?
Match the pedals to how you race, not only to the spec sheet.
Entry and mid level
If you come from a desk setup, a two pedal load cell set is the biggest single upgrade for consistency. Sets like the Simagic P500 pedal set and the MOZA Racing SRP2 give you a load cell brake at a friendly level, and they bolt to the Sport deck without changes. Browse every option in our sim racing pedals collection.
Serious and endurance racing
For long races and a firm brake, a premium load cell or hydraulic set pays off. The Simagic P1000 series, the Asetek Invicta pedals and the Conspit hydraulic sets are popular choices. Our guide to Simagic P1000 pedal setup and calibration shows how to dial them in. Planning an even bigger build? Check which wheelbases and pedals need a SIMGASM Pro.
Do you need a clutch?
For GT and formula racing, two pedals are enough. For rally, historic cars and drifting, a clutch adds realism. You add one later as a single pedal, such as the Simagic P1000 Clutch Pedal. Read whether the Sport suits rally and drifting for the full picture.

Why trust this pedal advice?
The Sport was designed by a driver who has tested a long list of pedals.
Years of hands on testing
Johan Akkerman has raced since 2008. Through years of racing, product events and international exhibitions, he has tested an extensive range of cockpits, wheelbases, pedals, seats and accessories. Before sim racing became his full time job, he worked as an automotive technical specialist and workshop manager, so he knows how a real brake system behaves.
Tested as a complete simulator
At SIMGASM, pedal geometry is treated as a performance and endurance factor, not a cosmetic detail. Every product is tested as part of a complete simulator. SIMGASM B.V. is based in Wijk bij Duurstede in the Netherlands. Pick your frame in the SIMGASM Sport range and add the pedals that match your racing.
Quick answers about pedals on the Sport
Here are short answers to the questions buyers ask most.
Do pedals come with the SIMGASM Sport?
No. Pedals, the seat, the seat slider and the wheelbase are sold separately.
Does the Sport fit hydraulic pedals?
Yes. The pedal deck takes standard load cell and hydraulic pedal sets.
Is a 300 kg rating enough for every pedal?
For almost every sim racing pedal on the market, yes. It leaves a big margin above the force most drivers use.
